Edison Community College inthe summer of 2010.Officials from Edison Com-

munity College have been incontact with and are continu-ing to cooperate with the in-vestigation by the MiamiCounty Prosecutor’s Office andthe Ohio Ethics Commission.Additional information re-

Rocket launchedBY JEAN H. LEEAssociated Press

PYONGYANG,North Korea(AP) — Defying internationalconcerns, North Korea fired along-range rocket early Fridaythat splintered into pieces overthe Yellow Sea about a minuteafter takeoff in an apparentfailure, South Korean and U.S.officials said.The liftoff took place at 7:39

a.m. (2239 GMT Thursday)from the west coast launch padin the hamlet of Tongchang-ri,South Korea’s Joint Chiefs ofStaff in Seoul said, citing

South Korean and U.S. intelli-gence.The U.S., South Korea and

many other countries hadwarned against the launch,calling it a provocation and acover to test missile technology.North Korea had insisted itwould not back down, and saidthe rocket would only carry acivilian satellite, touting it as amajor technological achieve-ment to mark the 100th an-niversary of the birth of thecountry’s founder,Kim Il Sung,on Sunday.Still, if the rocket failed, it

would be a major embarrass-

ment for Pyongyang,which hasinvited dozens of internationaljournalists to observe therocket launch and other cele-brations.It has staked its pride on the

satellite, seeing it as a show ofstrength amid persistent eco-nomic hardship while Kim IlSung’s grandson, the 29-year-old Kim Jong Un, solidifiespower following the death ofhis father, longtime leader KimJong Il, four months ago.“It blows a big hole in the

birthday party,” said VictorCha, former director for Asiapolicy in the U.S. National Se-

curity Council, contacted inWashington. “It’s terribly em-barrassing for the North.”He said the next step would

be to watch whether NorthKorea conducts a nuclear test,as has been speculated by theSouth Korean intelligencecommunity. North Korea is re-portedly making preparationsfor such a test soon.“We have to watch very

carefully what they are doingnow at the nuclear test site andhow they explain this with allthose foreign journalists in thecountry,” Cha said.

WASHINGTON (AP) —TheWhite House— and Pres-ident Barack Obama himself— rushed into a damage con-trol campaign Thursday toblunt the impact of a Demo-cratic consultant’s suggestionthat Ann Romney isn’t quali-fied to discuss the economybecause she “hasn’t worked aday in her life.”“It was the wrong thing to

say,” Obama declared in an in-terview with WCMH-TV inColumbus, Ohio, standing upfor Republican rival MittRomney’s wife with Democ-rats suddenly on the defen-sive over women’s issues forthe first time this electionyear. Of the “ill-advised state-ment” by consultant HilaryRosen, he added, “It’s notsomething that I subscribeto.”In an interview with Cedar

Rapids, Iowa, TV stationKCRG, the president said“there’s no tougher job thanbeing a mom” and cited the ef-forts of his wife, Michelle, andhis own mother, a singlewoman with two children.“That’s work,” he said. “So,

anybody who would argueotherwise probably needs torethink their statement.”The president’s remarks

were his answer to Rosen’scomments and the Twitterwar they ignited. The merefact that he weighed in on the

STATE NEWS Sidney Daily News, Friday, April 13, 2012R Page 4

OHIO NEWS BRIEFSMany worry water planswould hurt Lake Erie

TOLEDO (AP) — ProposedOhio rules on how much waterfarms and factories can draw fromLake Erie and the rivers flowinginto it don’t offer enough protec-tion for the lake’s tributaries, en-vironmentalists and anglers toldthe media Thursday in a telecon-ference organized by the NationalWildlife Federation.The plan now being debated in

the Ohio Legislature also couldend up hurting the lake, a sourceof drinking water for about 11mil-lion people, they said.“You compromise one part of

the system, and you compromisethe whole system,” said Rick Gra-ham, an outdoors enthusiast fromnorthern Ohio.Environmentalists are pushing

back again amid the attempt bythe state to set rules governing theuse of Lake Erie water. Last year,they opposed a proposal that ulti-mately was vetoed by Gov. John

Kasich, who said it lacked clearstandards for withdrawals anddidn’t include enough oversight.Eight states and two Canadian

provinces along the Great Lakeshave until the end of 2013 to es-tablish regulations for large-scalewater withdrawals.The Great Lakes Compact,

signed into law in 2008 by Presi-dent George W. Bush, says all wa-ters within the Great Lakes basinshould be protected as part of thepublic trust. The states borderingthe lakes sought the protection toprevent Southern states wherewater is in short supply from tak-ing it.What has environmentalists

and Ohio’s charter fishing indus-try most upset is how Ohio’s pro-posed legislation is worded whenit comes to protecting rivers fromhuge water withdrawals and thedefinition of what would be con-sidered an “adverse impact” to the

lake and rivers.They say the proposal does not

look at whether a large with-drawal of water from a river wouldhave a harmful effect on that river.Instead, the Ohio proposal wouldonly consider whether the use ofthe water would hurt Lake Erie asa whole. That means it could betoo late to save a tributary fromdamage if too much water isdrawn, said Marc Smith, a GreatLakes policy manager with theNational Wildlife Federation.Other states in the compact

don’t do it that way, Smith said.“That’s just kind of commonsense,” he added.Lake Erie’s tributaries are vital

to the health of the lake and pro-vide habitat and spawning areasfor fish popular with anglers, in-cluding walleye, smallmouth bassand steelhead trout, said Paul Pa-cholski, a charter fishing boat cap-tain.

300-foot buffer proposedfor Ohio park drilling

COLUMBUS (AP) —A state natural resourceagency’s proposed rulesfor drilling in state parkswould require naturalgas and oil companies tostay at least 300 feet —the length of a footballfield — from camp-grounds, certain water-ways and sites deemedhistorically or archaeo-logically valuable.Documents on pro-

posed rules were re-leased by the stateDepartment of NaturalResources this week afterthe Ohio chapter of theSierra Club filed a law-suit claiming the agency

ignored repeated re-quests by the group to re-view them.The proposals for

drilling leases also in-cludes an 89-page reportlisting “best managementpractices” on topics likesite restoration andguidelines for emergencyand pollution incidents.Other proposals includestate approval beforecompanies could storedrilling waste in pits andan agreement on the lo-cations of all drillingequipment.Eastern Ohio is in the

midst of a natural gasboom as developers seek

to capture rights to UticaShale deposits. The statepassed a law in Septem-ber that opened its parksand other state-heldlands for drilling, and of-ficials have been develop-ing leasing terms fordrilling companies.Opponents say they’re

concerned about the en-vironmental impact ofthe drilling, which in-cludes hydraulic fractur-ing, or “fracking.” Theprocess involves drillersblasting millions of gal-lons of water, sand andchemicals deep under-ground to break up rockdeposits.

Supporters of the lawsay there’s a potentiallyvast reservoir of oil andgas in the Utica Shale,which lies below theMarcellus Shale, whereoil companies in Pennsyl-vania have drilled thou-sands of wells in searchof natural gas and oil.But natural gas

drilling has become acontentious issue inPennsylvania, wherepublic health advocateshave criticized a new lawthat will limit accessiblemedical information onillnesses that may be re-lated to gas drilling. Ittakes effect April 14.

Teenager sentencedCIRCLEVILLE (AP) — An Ohio teenager was

sentenced Wednesday to four years in prison for afatal traffic crash that occurred after he concealeda stop sign with petroleum jelly and plastic wrap.Seth Stonerock, 19, of Stoutsville, was sentenced

in Pickaway County Common Pleas Court aftertearfully apologizing to the families of the twowomen who died. He had pleaded guilty in Febru-ary to two reckless homicide counts.Mary Spangler, 85, died in the Aug. 17 crash

when her 81-year-old sister, Jeanne Shea, drovepast the concealed sign and collided with anothervehicle. Shea died Sept. 6.Stonerock has been contrite and remorseful and

feels the penalty is justified, defense attorney BillMeeks said Wednesday. Meeks said he planned toask the judge to consider early release in severalmonths.

Democratic chairmanbeats back challengeCOLUMBUS (AP) — The chairman of the Ohio

Democratic Party onWednesday handily beat back achallenge to unseat him in a party squabble with im-plications for this fall’s presidential election in a crit-ical swing state.A majority of a 66-member central committee

voted for current chairman Chris Redfern over chal-lenger Tony Giardini, the party chair in LorainCounty, in a contest that was also tinted with shadesof the 2014 race for Ohio governor.Besides controlling the estimated $60 million

likely to flow through the party this year, Redfernwill now lead Democrats’ effort to win back the gov-ernorship from Republican John Kasich in twoyears.In a statement, Redfern said he was “honored”

that committee members “put their faith in my con-tinuing ability to effectively fight for our Democraticvalues.” He said the state’s Democrats can now rallyaround the “unifying goal” of re-electing PresidentBarack Obama and Ohio’s top Democratic officials.

Groups: no electionchanges until 2013COLUMBUS (AP) — Voter advocates urged

state lawmakers on Thursday not to change theswing state’s election law before November, even asa state senator said he wants to tweak the law tohelp disabled and early voters cast their ballots.“It’s enough already,” said Carrie Davis, execu-

tive director of the League ofWomenVoters of Ohio.“This constant round of election changes in themidst of a presidential election cycle causes toomuch confusion. They need to stop.”

PYONGYANG, NorthKorea (AP) — The press bustook a wrong turn Thursday.And suddenly, everythingchanged in the official show-case of North Korean achieve-ment.A cloud of brown dust

swirled down deeply potholedstreets, past concrete apart-ment buildings crumbling atthe edges. Old people trudgedalong the sidewalk, some withhandmade backpacks craftedfrom canvas bags. Two men inwheelchairs waited at a busstop.There were stores with nolights, and side roads so bat-tered they were more dirt thanpavement.“Perhaps this is an incorrect

road?” mumbled one of theNorth Korean minders, well-dressed government officialswho restrict reporters to metic-ulously staged presentationsthat inevitably center onpraise for the three genera-tions of Kim family who haveruled this country since 1948.So as cameras madly

clicked, the drivers quicklybacked up the three buses inthe narrow streets and headedtoward the intended destina-tion: a spotlessly clean,brightly-lit, extensively mar-bled and nearly empty build-ing that preserves digital

music recordings and makesDVDs.The foreign journalists, in-

vited into North Korea as itcommemorates the centennialof founder Kim Il Sung’s birth,arrived at the Hana Music In-formation Center, where aguide told them second-gener-ation leader Kim Jong Il madeone of his last public appear-

ances there before his Decem-ber death.“I hope that the journalists

present here report only theabsolute truth,” said Ri Jinju,her voice trembling, her hairfrozen with hairspray. “Thetruth about howmuch our peo-ple miss our comrade KimJong Il, and how strong theunity is between the people

and leadership, who are vigor-ously carrying out the leaders’instructions to build a great,prosperous and powerful na-tion.”In North Korea, it’s hard to

know what’s real. Certainly,you can’t go looking for it.Anyone who leaves the

press tour, or who walks fromthe few hotels where foreign-ers are allowed, can be de-tained by the police andthreatened with expulsion.But even in such a con-

trolled environment, realityasserts itself.Is reality the cluster of tall

buildings within view of themain foreigners’ hotel, wherelong strings of bright, coloredlights are switched on whenthe sun sets, illuminating en-tire blocks like some gargan-tuan Christmas decoration?Or is it the vast stretches ofPyongyang, by far the most de-veloped city in impoverishedNorth Korea, that go deathlydark at night?Is the reality along Py-

ongyang’s drab-but-spotlessmain roads, the only streetsthat journalists normally see,with their revolutionaryposters urging North Koreansto struggle toward a Stalinistparadise? Or is reality on thestreets near the music center?

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) —After weeks in hiding, GeorgeZimmerman made his firstcourtroom appearance Thurs-day in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, andprosecutors outlined theirmurder case in court papers,saying the neighborhoodwatch volunteer followed andconfronted the black teenagerafter a police dispatcher toldhim to back off.The brief outline, contained

in an affidavit filed in supportof the second-degree murdercharges, appeared to contra-dict Zimmerman’s claim thatMartin attacked him after hehad turned away and was re-turning to his vehicle.In the affidavit, prosecutors

also said that Martin’s motheridentified cries for help heardin the background of a 911 callas her son’s. There had beensome question as to whetherMartin or Zimmerman wasthe one crying out.The account of the shooting

was released as Zimmerman,28, appeared at a four-minutehearing in a jailhouse court-room, setting in motion whatcould be a long, drawn-outprocess, or an abrupt and dis-

appointingly short one for theMartin family because of thestrong legal protections con-tained in Florida’s “stand yourground” law on self-defense.During the hearing, Zim-

merman stood up straight,held his head high and wore agray jail jumpsuit. He spokeonly to answer “Yes, sir” twiceafter he was asked basic ques-tions from the judge, who wasnot in the courtroom but onclosed-circuit TV. The defen-

dant’s hair was shaved downto stubble and he had a thingoatee. His hands were shack-led in front of him.He did not enter a plea;

that will happen at his ar-raignment, which was set forMay 29.To prove second-degree

murder, prosecutors mustshow that Zimmerman com-mitted an “imminently dan-gerous” act that showed a“depraved” lack of regard for

human life.The charge carriesa mandatory sentence of 25years in prison and a maxi-mum of life.The special prosecutor in

the case,Angela Corey, has re-fused to explain exactly howshe arrived at the charge. Butin the affidavit, prosecutorssaid Zimmerman spottedMar-tin while patrolling his gatedcommunity, got out of his vehi-cle and followed the youngman.

Launch still‘provocative’

NATION/WORLD Sidney Daily News,Friday,April 13,2012 Page 5

WASHINGTON (AP) —U.S. officials say a rocketlaunched by North Koreafailed moments after beingfired, but theWhite Housestill described the launchas a “provocative action”that threatens regional se-curity and violates inter-national law.In a statement, White

House spokesman JayCarney said any missileactivity by North Korea isof concern to the interna-tional community. TheWhite House has said alaunch would jeopardizeplanned food aid.The statement came

after the North AmericanAerospace Defense Com-mand and U.S. NorthernCommand said that thefirst rocket stage fell to theYellow Sea and that theremaining stages failed.Pyongyang claims it

was a peaceful mission toplace a satellite in space.The U.S. and much of therest of the world considerit a test of a long-rangemissile.

NORTH KOREAN residents of the capital city mingle on theside of the street in Pyongyang, North Korea on Thursday. Thepress bus took a wrong turn Thursday. And suddenly, every-thing changed in the official showcase of North Koreanachievement. The drivers quickly backed up the three busesin the narrow deeply potholed streets and headed toward theintended destination: a spotlessly clean, brightly-lit, exten-sively marbled and nearly empty building that preserves dig-ital music recordings and makes DVDs.

uproar left no doubt that De-mocrats want to leave nothingto chance in their effort to keepfemale voters in the party fold.Women,who are themajority ofvoters in presidential electionyears, lean heavily Democratic,and polls show Obama holds acommanding lead among thisgroup so far this year in battle-ground states.Mitt Romney, the former

Massachusetts governor, mustwin about 40 percent of femalevoters to have a chance at beat-ing Obama, and he’s targetingmarried women and motherswho tend to be more conserva-tive. Among this group, Ann

Romney is popular and hasbeen the candidate’s chief sur-rogate on how the strugglingeconomy has affected womenand families.So while the candidate re-

mained silent Thursday, hiscampaign pouncedwhenRosensaid on CNN Wednesday thatAnn Romney was no expert onthe economy.“His wife has actually never

worked a day in her life,”Rosensaid. “She’s never really dealtwith the kinds of economic is-sues that a majority of womenin this country are facing.”Rosen apologized lateThurs-

day, after first lady Michelle

Obama tweeted her own sup-port for women and mothers.The backlash to Rosen’s

comments was bipartisan, bru-tal and swift, crackling acrossTwitter, cable television andold-fashioned telephone lines.It appeared to have reignitedthe “Mommy Wars” debate, atleast for now, over choicesmanywomen make as they jugglemotherhood with the workmost need to pay bills, collegetuition and a semblance of fi-nancial security for their fami-lies.Ann Romney fought back on

Twitter and television, tweet-ing: “I made a choice to stay

home and raise five boys. Be-lieve me, it was hard work.”Later, on Fox News, she

noted that her career choicewas being a mother, and whileshe hasn’t faced financial hard-ship she has confronted the or-deals of cancer and multiplesclerosis.Finally, she noted thather husband has said her workis more important than his asfamily breadwinner.“He would say, ‘My job is

temporary. … Your job is a for-ever job that’s going to bringforever happiness,’” Ann Rom-ney said. “Mitt respects womenthat make those differentchoices.”

In Pyongyang, there was no word abouta launch.North Korean officials said theywould make an announcement about thelaunch “soon.”At Kim Il Sung Square, thecity’s main plaza, residents were sittingaround waiting for a rehearsal for upcom-ing celebrations.It had earlier said that the rocket

would be fired any day between April 12and April 16. The daily window was sup-posed to be 7 a.m. to noon.South Korean Foreign Minister Kim

Sung-hwan said the rocket launch wasconfirmed a “failure.” He provided no de-tails.But earlier, South Korean Defense

Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok toldreporters the rocket splintered into piecesmoments after takeoff.In Washington, a U.S. official also said

the launch appeared to have failed.The of-ficial offered no further details and wouldnot discuss the source of the U.S. informa-tion.

“We suspect the North Korean missilehas fallen as it divided into piecesminutesafter liftoff,” said the official.Tokyo,whichwas prepared to shoot down any rocketflying over its territory, also confirmed alaunch from North Korea.“We have confirmed that a certain fly-

ing object has been launched and fell afterflying for just over a minute,” JapaneseDefense Minister Naoki Tanaka said. Hesaid there was no impact on Japanese ter-ritory.

Wrong turn grants glimpse behind curtain

Mortgagerate dropsWASHINGTON (AP) —

The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgagedropped near its all-timelow this week, makinghome-buying and refinanc-ing a bargain for those whocan qualify.Mortgage buyer Freddie

Mac saidThursday that therate on the 30-year loan fellto 3.88 percent from 3.98percent. That’s just abovethe rate of 3.87 percentreached in February, thelowest since long-termmortgages began in the1950s.The 15-year mortgage, a

popular option for refinanc-ing, plunged to a fresh lowof 3.11 percent from 3.21percent last week. The pre-vious record of 3.13 percentwas hit last month.

Pakistan OKsproposal

ISLAMABAD (AP) —Pakistan’s parliament onThursday unanimously ap-proved new guidelines forthe country in its troubledrelationship with theUnited States, a decisionthat could pave the way forthe reopening of supplylines to NATO troops inneighboring Afghanistan.The guidelines allow for

the blockade on U.S. andNATO supplies to be lifted,but also call for an immedi-ate end to American dronestrikes againstmilitants onPakistani soil.However, thelawmakers did not make ahalt in the CIA-led missileattacks a prerequisite to re-opening the supply lines, assome lawmakers had beendemanding.

Hopefullyit was not enough to affectanything. We are justburning wood instead ofcoal since we only needheat in the house on somedays. The warmerweather in March surespoiled us.8 a.m. Breakfast is

ready, which consists ofeggs, fried potatoes, bacon,cheese, toast, milk andgrape juice. Also peanutbutter cookies whichLoretta made. We willtake some to church serv-ices at our neighbors’home tomorrow. Joe usu-ally doesn’t eat breakfastduring the week since hegoes to work so early. Heeats something at break-time. On weekends he al-ways enjoys a goodbreakfast which I think is

YOUR HOROSCOPE

Pot smoker: Put up or shut upDR.WALLACE: I’m a

regular pot user, and I re-ally enjoy getting high.You’re always telling usthat smoking pot cancause the same cancerouseffects as smoking to-bacco, but I don’t remem-ber you providing anyscientific data to back upyour statements. Sincemarijuana is a totally nat-ural plant, I think you’rejust trying to scare us intonot using marijuana. Soplease give us the realfacts. In other words, putup or shut up! — Dave,Santa Fe, N.M.

DAVE: That is someaccusation but is certainlyunfounded. According to

the Academy ofGeneral Den-tistry, smokingmarijuana maylead to cancer ofthe tongue andother areas of themouth and neck,including the lar-ynx and theesophagus.Researchers at

the Prince ofWales Hospital inSydney have stud-ied patients who smokedmarijuana and developedtongue cancer. Becausenone of these patientssmoked or chewed tobaccoor drank alcohol — whichcould have led to similar

consequences— researchersbelieve thatsmoking mari-juana couldhave been thesole cause of thedisease.Because of

this study,mari-juana appearsto be linked tocancer of theupper airwayand digestive

tract.One explanation,ac-cording to the researchteam, is that marijuanasmokers tend to inhalethe smoke rapidly anddeeply, which leads to afaster deposit of tar and

other organic compoundsin the respiratory tract.A previous study was

conductedwith 200 smok-ers of hashish, the resinfrom the cannabis plant.The results showed that87.5 percent had upperairway complaints.Dr. Eric Shapira states

that a joint not only maydeposit its poison fasterbut also dumps four timesmore tar in the mouthand upper airway than acigarette. Marijuana alsocontains about 50 percentmore cancer-causing or-ganic compounds than to-bacco. I am not trying toscare you. I just want youto know the facts.

Dear Heloise: Irecently read inyour column theproblemVickie (areader) was hav-ing with towelsthat came out ofthe wash lookingas if someonehad spilledbleach on them.Well, I’ve had thesame problem,too.

Let me tellyou what I found out. Iwent right back to theboutique from which Ipurchased my towels,taking the ruined sam-ples with me, and theemployees were not a bitsurprised at what I hadto show them.

They said it happensall the time, and what Ishould have done is towash the towels in coldwater before I used themto set the dye. I reallywish there had been a

big warninglabel on thetowels tellingme to do so. —Sylvia, viaemail

Sylvia, I amso sorry youhad this prob-lem. It doesseem to be acommon onetoday, accord-ing to my read-e r s .

Unfortunately, thereisn’t much you can do athome to “set” the dye onfabrics. Washing in coldwater does “reduce” orprevent color bleeding,

but will NOT set the dye.You might want to

check for other causes,too, just to be on the safeside. Sometimes thebleach dispenser doesn’tempty all the way from aprevious load. Or if youare using powder deter-gent, make sure it dis-solves fully in the waterbefore adding your tow-els or garments in. Don’tsprinkle powder deter-gent on wet fabrics, as itmight cause spots.

Readers, input? Haveyou had the same prob-lem? Let me know, andI’ll share. — HeloisePLASTIC PINCHER

Dear Heloise:To easilyopen the plastic bags inthe produce departmentwithout having to lickmyfinger (yuck), I walk overto where there is watersitting around the edge ofthe produce bins, get alittle on my finger, thenopen the bags. — Jillfrom Folsom, Calif.

OPINION

Ever sinceyou were littleyour mom hastold you, “Watch-ing that muchtelevision will fry yourbrain!” But, now in mostcases it seems to be de-stroying women’s andyoung girl’s bodies acrossthe globe. From a youngage it seems that we aretaught that beautymeans “being skinny.”Women and young girlseverywhere have devel-oped many eating disor-ders in search of theperfect body that themedia say they need tohave to be accepted in so-ciety.

Body imageAn example that the

media do affect bodyimage is the view of bodyimage among the Fijians.The Fijians had neverheard of body-image is-sues, or eating disorders,prior to the broadcastingof television shows fromthe United States to theFijian Islands.The Fi-jians believed that being“fat” was a sign of wealthand happiness in life.

According to AnneBecker, in the book.“Body, Self, and Society,”the Fijians embraced thefull-figured women andfound them to be themost desirable.WhenBecker returned it wasafter the United Stateshad been broadcastingpageant shows on televi-sion to the Fijian Islands.

She had foundthat the views ofthe Fijians wereskewed by themedia.The men

no longer found the big-ger women to be desir-able.When she surveyedthe women she foundthat 11 percent of girlsreported vomiting to con-trol weight and 62 per-cent of the girls surveyedsaid they had dieted inthe previous months.This just goes to showhow powerful the mediacan be in influencingwomen regarding bodyimage.

BarbieTake a look at your

childhood Barbie for ex-ample.When you areyoung, you are taughtthat Barbie is the perfectwoman. Everything isbased around how shelooks and her happinesscomes from her being theperfect woman.Accord-ing to the author of “Findyour True Beauty.com,”Barbie is 5-feet, 9-inchestall, with a 39-inch bust,18-inch waist and 33-inch hips. Barbie weighsin at about 110 pounds,saying she is a “full-fig-ured” woman.” If you lookat Barbie’s BMI, she fitsthe criteria for beinganorexic. She would mostlikely not menstruateand would have to walkon all fours because ofher proportions.The au-thor of “Find your TrueBeauty.com” also points

out, “in 1965, SlumberParty Barbie came out, itcame with a bathroomscale permanently set to110 pounds.The doll alsocame with a book titled,‘How to LoseWeight.’And inside this book itgave the advice: ‘Don’tEat.’ ” The Barbie wasthen recalled because ofthe criticism it was get-ting and was reintro-duced with a morerealistic figure.

Huge issueI think that body

image issues have be-came a huge issue in allsocieties.Most women al-ways think to them-selves, “If I could changesomething about myself,then others will acceptme.”That expression af-fects most women acrossthe globe and is gettingworse. I believe that it isthe most unhealthythought to think of your-self. I feel that not justwomen but people in gen-eral should take ahealthy approach to lifewhich not only is aboutphysical health, but men-tal health, also.Take Jil-lian Michaels, forexample. She helps mil-lions of Americans gethealthy on “The BiggestLoser” television showevery year. She puts onher website that everyday she has to have somedark chocolate to getthrough the day.Accord-ing to Michaels, it’s allabout portion size,mod-

eration and developinghealthy eating habits fora lifetime of healthiness.

Since the 1950s, eat-ing disorders have grownrapidly and just seem tobe getting worse. Eachyear countries releasetheir statistics on theirnumber of eating disor-ders reported in theircountry. Each year itseems that the numbersgrow larger and nowseem to be exceeding thenumbers of obesity. I be-lieve that beauty comesfrom within, and younggirls seem to be lookingright over that conceptbecause of what theylearn that beauty is froma young age.Mentally healthyYou need to not only

be physically healthy butalso mentally healthy.Young girls should watchthe commercials on tele-vision and just laugh be-cause they know that itis unrealistic and thosewomen aren’t healthy.Maybe if the governmentembraced the eating dis-order controversy asmuch as they do obesity,we would help theseyoung girls, but untilthere is action taken tohelp these individuals,the rates are going tokeep rising.

Lower energyprices.That’s whatmany folks first thinkwhen they hear aboutexpanded oil and nat-ural gas production inOhio.

And they are right.Washington can’t re-peal the laws of sup-ply and demand.Withmore supply that ismore reliable, it willhelp keep pricesdown.

But lower prices aren’t theonly benefit the American peo-ple will reap by developing se-cure, reliable and affordabledomestic energy. Expanded do-mestic production will also cre-ate jobs and lower costs formanufacturers.

Job creationWe’re already seeing the

job-creating potential of ex-panded production across Ohioas a result of the shale plays inthe eastern part of our state,called the Marcellus and UticaShale.

In recent decades, throughhard work, risk-taking and in-vestment, the private sectorhas developed techniqueswhich make it possible and

economical to recoverthis type of oil andgas that’s deep under-ground.

At a time whenthere are 443,000 un-employed Ohioans,energy production isset to create thou-sands of jobs, from thedrill sites down thesupply chains, acrossmany sectors of oureconomy.A study

from university researchersfound that the Utica Shalealone created more than 2,000jobs in 2011 and is on track tocreate another 12,000 jobs in2012.

Just the beginningThese tens of thousands of

jobs are just the beginning.One industry study says thatmore than 200,000 Ohio jobswill be created and supportedby 2015 as a result of UticaShale exploration in Ohio.

One sector that’s benefittingis manufacturing. Ohio’s man-ufacturers make a lot of thepipes and pumps and othermaterials used in energy pro-duction. The steel companiesin northeast Ohio are expand-ing in order to keep up with

pipe orders from the oil andgas industry.

I saw this recently when Itoured U.S. Steel’s new $100million pipe facility in Lorain,which has created more than100 full-time jobs, and about150 temporary constructionjobs. Good-paying jobs withgood benefits are being createdleft and right not only at U.S.Steel but at other steel compa-nies throughout northeastOhio, in Lorain, Cleveland,Youngstown and Brookfield.

Ripple effectsThe ripple effects are sub-

stantial. According to theAmerican Iron and Steel Insti-tute, each job in the steel in-dustry creates seven otherjobs.

Having spent a lot of timein eastern Ohio earlier thisyear, from the Mahoning Val-ley south to Bellaire and westto Cambridge, I’ve seen someof the benefits to families inareas of our state that havebeen hard hit and have hadhigh unemployment fordecades. Good jobs are return-ing, allowing young people tostay and raise their familieswith not just a good wage butreal hope for the future.

There’s another angle to theshale story.Thirty percent ofenergy consumption in thiscountry is by industrial users.With the shale plays, we havethe potential to stabilize thecost of doing business for man-ufacturing across the state,and help prevent some of thewild price spikes we saw withnatural gas in the past.

Better bottom lineThis will lead to a better

bottom line for manufacturers,giving them more resources togrow and hire. It will attractmore businesses to the state,like plastics, chemicals andother industries.

It will also increase thecompetitiveness of manufac-turers, bringing down whatthe National Association ofManufacturers has identifiedas a 20 percent premium to dobusiness here in the U.S.Withlow, stable energy costs, moremanufacturers may bring pro-duction back from China andother foreign countries, aswe’ve recently begun to see.

Some are concerned aboutthe safety of increased oil andgas production here in Ohio.We do need to be sure that ap-propriate regulations are in

place to protect the environ-ment, and that can be done.We sometimes forget thatwe’ve been drilling for oil sincethe 1860s in Ohio and safelyemploying hydraulic fractur-ing for more than a half-cen-tury. Lima was the oil capitalof the world in the 1890s.

FrameworkOhio is ahead of some other

states in providing a properregulatory framework, and inmy view has done a good jobensuring that these drillingtechnologies are being usedproperly.We need to continueto ensure Ohio rules are work-ing to protect our communi-ties, but we also have to besure new, one-size-fits-allWashington rules aren’t im-posed on Ohio that could stopthis exciting potential for newjobs and a stronger Ohio econ-omy before it can really getstarted.

Let’s use our resourceswisely to cut our dependencyon foreign energy from danger-ous and volatile parts of theworld, increase supply andlower energy prices, and addthousands of good-paying jobsin areas of our state that needthem badly.

To the editor:Since wind-turbine towers are being proposed

for northwestern Auglaize County and northeast-ern Shelby County, I went to see a documentarymovie being shown in Wapak, and it was an eye-opening experience. I thought any source ofpower that makes us independent of other coun-tries and is nonpolluting was a win-win, but Iwas wrong.

I learned that our federal government and ourstate government are subsidizing 60 percent ofthe cost to build and put up the towers, and thatrecipients of the profits are not the taxpayers inOhio or the USA, but wealthy investors, who arelocated in far-off places. I learned that these peo-ple from far-off places don’t come to a communityand announce what they have to offer to deter-mine if the community wants it, but go quietlyfrom landowner to landowner to try to get asmany signatures as they can, while divulging aslittle as possible, so no one gets alarmed.

If people wished that they could live in a bigcity, they will get their wish if wind-turbine tow-ers come. They’ll have 50-story skyscrapers, withair wooshing across the tips of the blades at 150miles per hour. They’ll not have a quiet night skywith stars, but instead the eerie view of swirlinggroups of blinking lights that keep planes fromhitting the 50-story-high rotating blades. Sun-light streaming through the rotating bladesmakes so much light flicker that they may needto put heavy drapes or blankets over the win-dows in order to read, or use the computer, orjust to keep their sanity. A big factor observed inthe movie is the forever factor. The open skylineis gone forever. The light flicker is there forever.

The movie pointed out the biggest negative ofall. When people’s quality of life is destroyed, itpits neighbor against neighbor, friend againstfriend, community member against communitymember, until the friendliness of a community isdestroyed.

I suggest that everyone learn more about in-dustrial-size wind-turbine towers. A startingpoint would be to drive up to Van Wert Countyafter dark on an evening when the wind is blow-ing to see what your nights would be like. Go tohttp:windfallthemovie.com for a two-minute partof the documentary movie.

HOUSTON — Twolongtime teachers inthe Hardin-HoustonSchool system are retir-ing at the end of thecurrent school year.They are Karen Garietyand Alberta Ely.Gariety knew early

in life that she wantedto be a teacher. Thedaughter of Gene andLeRue Gooder wouldplay school with otherchildren in her Sidneyneighborhood, relishingher turn at being theteacher. Now Gariety isplanning to retire afterthe school year ends,after 35 years in theHardin-Houston SchoolDistrict. All 35 yearswere spent teachingsecond grade.Gariety was the first

member of her family toattend college. She isvery grateful for thesacrifices her parentsmade to make thathigher education possi-ble.Gariety began her

college education atMiami University, origi-nally planning to be abusiness teacher. Shetells of becoming home-sick and informing herparents that shewanted to return to Sid-ney. The result was aletter from her fatheremphasizing the needto appreciate the oppor-tunity she had beengiven and to not allowthe emotions to stealthat chance. Gariety lis-tened to those words ofwisdom. She stayed atthe Oxford campus fortwo years and thentransferred to BowlingGreen State Universityto finish her bachelor’sdegree.Gariety was hired at

H a r d i n - H o u s t o nshortly after gradua-tion in 1977. In thesame year, she wasmarried to Ed Gariety,her high school sweet-heart.The Hardin Elemen-

tary principal at thetime was Dave McKay.He advised the newteacher to get her mas-ter’s degree quickly andtake some time totravel before shestarted a family. Gari-ety followed all of thatadvice, getting her ad-vanced degree fromWright State Univer-sity and traveling with

her mother to Europe.Gariety feels that

teachers now know thestandards of educationquite well. She believesthat the increased ac-countability is a posi-tive but feels that statetesting requires toomuch attention. Over-all, she is optimisticabout the future of edu-cation.Gariety is very im-

pressed by the technol-ogy available toteachers now. In addi-tion, the research capa-bility provided tostudents of all ages hashelped. She is also en-thused about theprogress being made toassist students needingspecial attention. Gari-ety has found greatpleasure in seeing stu-dents come to graspsomething with whichthey had been experi-encing difficulty, some-thing that Garietyrefers to as “a-ha mo-ments.”She used to think

that she would retire at30 years, but she en-joyed the classroom toomuch to leave thatsoon. She notes that theyears have gone byquickly, and Garietyemphasizes that shehas met some amazingpeople and made manydeep, lasting friend-ships. She says of hercareer, “It’s been a won-derful 35 years.”After retirement, Ga-

riety plans to do morereading and traveling.She and husband Edhave a cabin at IndianLake and enjoy ridingtheir pontoon boat.They will also enjoytrips to places withwarm, sandy beaches.The couple have two

adult children, Lindsay,also a teacher, and ason Nick.“Bertie” Ely is also

leaving the district atthe end of the schoolyear. Like Gariety, Elyhas been at the schoolfor 35 years.Ely graduated from

North High School inColumbus but devel-oped close ties toShelby County. Her par-ents were William andStella Fuller, and herfather was the pastor ofHardin and Lockingtonchurches.She went on to at-

tend Mount Union Col-lege, and later earned amaster’s degree fromthe University of Day-ton.Ely’s course in life

was determined in heradolescence: “I’ve justalways wanted to be ateacher. There wasnever anything else Iwanted to do.” Shebegan by working withyounger kids at Bibleschool and Sundayschool.She taught one year

in Panama City Beach,Fla., when her husbandwas stationed there inthe military. She waswidowed while quiteyoung and returned toteaching.Originally assigned

to the third grade atHardin, she has alsotaught second gradeand spent one year as aseventh- and eighth-grade reading instruc-tor. For several years,she has primarilyserved as a third-gradeand Title I teacher, spe-cializing in assistingpupils in advancingtheir reading skills.Ely has always pre-

ferred teaching at the

elementary level, as shefinds it rewarding tosee the early readingdevelopment. Hergreatest satisfactioncomes from seeingprogress in studentswho have struggledwith learning to read.She expresses her ap-proval of the ReadingRecovery program, aneffort that allowed one-on-one attention topupils with reading is-sues. Due to the ex-pense, it is no longerused on the district, soEly has attempted toapply some of the pro-gram’s strategies to herongoing group teachingmethods.She looks forward to

seeing more applicabletechnology comingalong for students whohave reading issues.She expects that e-reading devices willprove to be an asset forstruggling studentswho nonetheless relateto digital devices andmay find increased mo-tivation through theiruse. Ely stresses thatthis could be a key fac-tor with students whoneed a boost in confi-dence.In her final year of

teaching, Ely hasteamed up with teacherMelissa Bowers to workwith some studentsusing “smart” technol-ogy. They have foundthat those digital toolsare helping the stu-dents focus on learningand staying on task.Ely says that she has

a “bucket list” of thingsto do in retirement. Shelooks forward to spend-ing more time with hus-band Ron and visitingwith family. She hasthree sons, Gary,Michael and MatthewPhipps. Some of thatfamily time involvessome travel, as Michaelresides in Wyoming.She is also an avid

recreational vehicle en-thusiast, and loves thehiking and other out-door activities that goalong with the pastime.In addition, she intendsto learn to play the dul-cimer and play thepiano more frequently.However, Ely ac-

knowledges that shewill likely find herselfin a school setting onoccasion, even if as avolunteer. She simplyloves educating chil-dren.

Church readiesfor Divine

Mercy SundayBY TERRYPELLMAN

RUSSIA — St. RemyChurch is readyingplans for Divine MercySunday this weekend.The first Sunday follow-ing Easter commemo-rates the events duringthe 1930s when a Polishnun named MariaFaustina received manyvisions and messagesfrom God. The nunrecorded the messagesin a journal, and onApril30, 2000, she was canon-ized by Pope John PaulII.God used Faustina to

remind the world aboutthe merciful love he hasfor all, told of in the OldTestament and revealedin the New Testamentthrough Christ. Jesus re-quested of St. MariaFaustina that the churchestablish a feast day tocelebrate his divinemercy. Jesus said to herin part, “….I desire thatthe Feast of Mercy be arefuge and a shelter forall souls, and especiallyfor poor sinners. On thatday, the very depths ofmy mercy are open.”Materials provided to

the parishioners at St.Remy Catholic Churchin Russia provide an ex-tensive explanation ofDivine Mercy Sunday.The church will be hold-ing a special service thatday at 3 p.m.The hour ofthe day is relevant, as itis the time of the day atwhich Jesus succumbedto death on the cross.Jesus also asked that thehour be observed eachday. Prayers given up atthis hour are believed tohold special promise forfulfillment. Jesus told

Faustina, “I rejoice thatthey ask for much, be-cause it is my desire togive much, very much.No soul that has calledupon my mercy has beendisappointed or broughtto shame.”Parishioners were

asked to prepare bypraying the Chaplet ofDivine Mercy each daybeginning on Good Fri-day. The Chaplet is a se-ries of prayers andrecitations in a specificorder.In the church sanctu-

ary, a special artist’s ren-dition of Jesus’appearance to St. MariaFaustina will be on dis-play. The image bearsthe inscription, “Jesus, Itrust in you”. This paint-ing was done in accor-dance with directionsgiven to Faustina byJesus.The portrait of theRisen Christ is distin-guished by two rays oflight emanating from hispierced heart: “The paleray stands for the waterwhich makes souls right-eous. The red ray is forthe blood, which is thelife of souls.”The message of trust

is central in Jesus’ com-munications withFaustina. Jesus told her,“I desire to grantunimaginable graces tothose souls who trust inmy mercy. Let them ap-proach this sea of mercywith great trust. Sinnerswill attain justification,and the just will be con-firmed in good.”Worshipers planning

to attend the DivineMercy service at 3 p.m.this Sunday will be pro-vided prayer cards toguide them through theChaplet.

Violence during REM sleep

Family looks for gentle way to ease away from grandpa

DEAR DR.DONOHUE: Iam writing re-garding your arti-cle on periodiclimb movementsof sleep. Pleasecheck out REMsleep behaviordisorder. I, too,had fightingdreams, and whatmade them dan-gerous was myacting out thedreams. Ifmywifegrabbed my arm to wakeme, she became part ofmydream,and it was danger-ous for her. I was diag-nosed at a sleep clinic. Iam concerned for both thewife and husband in yourarticle. They should bemade aware of this condi-tion. —Anon.

ANSWER: You’re notthe only one who wrote tome about REM sleep be-havior disorder. All of youhave convinced me thatyou are right and I waswrong.The originalwriter,D.S., said her husband“dreams he is in a fight or

playing football orshooting things.At times he is onthe verge of strik-ing me.” I sug-gested thediagnosis was pe-riodic limb move-ments of sleep.REM,rapid eye

movement, sleepis one of thestages of sleep. Inthis stage, theeyes move quicklyto and fro. A

brainwave recording(EEG, electroencephalo-gram) taken during REMsleep is similar to anawake brainwave record-ing. Dreams happen in allstages of sleep, but themost vivid and remem-bered dreams occur dur-ing the REM stage.Abouta quarter of sleep time isdevoted to REM sleep,which returns in cyclesduring the night, as do theother sleep stages.This disorder affects

mostly men older than 50and causes them to thrashabout wildly, almost vio-

lently.They can hurt theirbed partners. During theagitated period, the per-son is still experiencingvivid, frightening dreamsthat center on fighting orfleeing a threatening en-counter. D.S.’s husbandcan relate his dreams toher the following morn-ing.In a percentage of peo-

ple with this disorder,Parkinson’s disease ap-pears in 10 to 20 years.C l o n a z e p a m

DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: Does celiac dis-ease (gluten sensitivity)ever disappear? Is celiacdisease inherited? —Anon.

ANSWER: Most peo-ple who have celiac dis-ease must adhere to a

gluten-free diet for life.Gluten is a protein foundin wheat, barley and rye.Gluten so affects thesepeople’s small intestine,the place where nutri-ents are absorbed, that itno longer passes thosenutrients into the blood.Weight loss, diarrheaand abdominal pain re-sult.Genetics has a role in

celiac disease. About 10percent of celiac patientshave a first-degree rela-tive who also has the ill-ness. A first-degreerelative is a parent,a childor a brother or sister.

Dr. Donohue regretsthat he is unable to an-swer individual letters,but he will incorporatethem in his columnwhenever possible. Read-ers may write him or re-quest an order form ofavailable health newslet-ters at P.O. Box 536475,Orlando, FL 32853-6475.Readers may also orderhealth newsletters fromwww.rbmamall.com.

DEAR ABBY: Myhusband and I havebeen married for 16years and have twoteenagers. “Mom” diedtwo years ago, and myhusband is an onlychild. How can we tellmy widowed father-in-law that we need aweekend to ourselves?”Pop,” who’s 87,

lives an hour awayand drives to see usevery weekend, staying untilMonday afternoon. We don’tdoubt that he’s lonely, al-though he does play bridgetwice a week and has dinnerwith friends occasionally. Welove him dearly and wouldnever want to hurt his feel-ings, but we long for a week-end for “just us.” How do we

ask Pop not to visit?We believe he’s still inmourning over the lossof his wife of 60 years.We don’t want to addto his heartache. —TORN IN TEXAS

DEAR TORN: Youdo need to talk to yourfather-in-law and setsome boundaries. Ac-complish it by settinga predetermined visi-tation schedule that

allows you time alone withyour husband and nuclearfamily without him beingpresent. A way to get thatmessage across would be tosay: “Pop, we love you, but weneed some time to ourselves,so let’s schedule your visits fortwice a month. YOU pick theweekends.”

DEAR ABBY:The neighborabove my apartment has asnoring problem. My bedroomis directly below his.Around 10every night he starts snoring tothe point that it sounds like anelephant lives aboveme. I haveto sleep with my TV on andsometimes the radio.Please tell me what to do.

Should I confront this neigh-bor? Should I complain tomanagement? Or should I justlive with it? — FED UP INNEW JERSEY

DEAR FED UP: Writeyour neighbor a letter and ex-plain to him there is a prob-lem. He may not know that hesnores. If he’s snoring steadily,but stops for 20 or 30 secondsbefore starting again, it couldindicate that he has a seriousmedical condition that should

be discussed with his doctor.If the apartment above you

has poor insulation, a carpetunder his bed could mufflesome of the sound. Playing atape of “white noise” couldblock it out more restfullythan your television or radio.Or, because adequate sleep isso important, you could ask areal estate attorney about thepossibility of breaking yourlease and leaving withoutpenalty.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 23-year-old woman who willgraduate from college soon. Iam looking to undergo a post-college makeover. I want tofind some clothes that willwork in the professionalworld, but also mix for morecasual environments. Taking

a recent college grad’s budgetfor this into account, what sig-nature pieces should a youngfemale have in her wardrobe?And what tips do you have forbuilding a great collectionover time? — YOUNG,BROKE, BUT FABULOUS

DEAR Y.B.F.: Start withtwo suits — one with a jacketand matching skirt, the otherwith jacket and slacks. Makeboth suits interchangeableand in a neutral color —black, navy or beige — what-ever looks best on you. Add acouple of blouses and sweatersets, several pairs of shoesand a good handbag. Makesure to look for “classic” stylesrather than trendy, and youwill have the basis for a busi-ness wardrobe and the begin-ning of a great collection.

As high pressure driftsacross the region, we'll seea lot of sun-s h i n e .W eshould beb a c ka b o v en o r m a ltoday withmore sun-shine! The weekend will beeven warmer as we pushinto the 70s, but there’s alsoa good chance for showersand thunderstorms... espe-cially Saturday.

Mold — it’s not just athreat to your bread; it couldbe a threat to your life.Vicki Frohna, of Sidney,

was an active member of thecommunity working as a li-censed practical nurse andstudying to be a registerednurse, when, one day in1997, her life was changed.Frohna trudged her way

through an ordinary 12-hourshift, and by the end, shefound herself in such painthat she could barely walk toher car in the parking lot.For the next four days, shewas scheduled to be off work,and she said she spent theentire time at home lying onher couch taking Advil andFlexeril in an attempt toease the pain.

Horrific painThe day she was sched-

uled to return to work, Oct.7, 1997, she said she awokein such horrific pain that herfamily called an ambulance,and she was taken to theemergency room. She wastransferred from there toKettering Medical Centerwhere she underwent a bat-tery of tests and was told herdiagnosis was acute trans-verse myelitis (TM).According to the National

Institutes of Health, trans-verse myelitis is a neurologi-cal disorder involvinginflammation of the myelin,or protective fatty sheath,around the nerve cell fibersin the spinal cord, leading tothe damage or destruction ofthis protective sheath.Symptoms include a “loss ofspinal cord function overseveral hours to severalweeks.”

Symptoms“What usually begins as a

sudden onset of lower backpain, muscle weakness, orabnormal sensations in thetoes and feet can rapidlyprogress to more severesymptoms, including paraly-sis, urinary retention, andloss of bowel control,” statesthe TM fact sheet from theNational Institute of Neuro-logical Disorders and Stroke.These symptoms are pre-cisely those described byFrohna in her condition.Frohna began long-term

neuro-rehabilitation atMiami Valley Hospital inDayton and after threeweeks was able to go homein a wheelchair, with awalker that she could barelyuse. She said it was abouteight months of hard work toreach the point where shecould walk with the aid of

one or two canes, which shecontinues today, and shesays, “I’ll have to do for therest of my life.”Frohna began researching

her condition and seeking acause, and she said her re-search has led her to believethat she was exposed to toxicmold.Frohna said she was told

only one to five people in amillion are diagnosed withTM. The NIH states that fewstudies have examined inci-dence rates, but that an esti-mated 1,400 cases arediagnosed annually in theU.S., which is a rate of aboutfive per million.According to Frohna, sev-

eral other people in the localarea have been diagnosedwith the same illness orshow similar symptoms.There were then and are

still no federal standards orguidelines for “safe” mold ex-posure in the United States.A March 10, 2010, guide tomold in the workplace fromthe U.S. Department ofLabor Occupational Safetyand Health Administrationstates, “Currently, there areno federal standards or rec-ommendations, (e.g., OSHA,NIOSH, EPA) for airborneconcentrations of mold ormold spores. Scientific re-search on the relationshipbetween mold exposures andhealth effects is ongoing. “The guide does state that

elimination of the moistureproblem permanently is es-sential, as well as completecontainment of airbornespores during cleanup andremoval of all porous mate-rial affected by mold growth.John Pash, of Sidney, a

friend of Frohna’s, said thathe developed severe diffi-culty in breathing withinhours of an emergency roomvisit. He says he has chronicfatigue syndrome, which hebelieves to be related to moldexposure.Letters from Frohna’s spe-

cialists indicate a belief thather condition is related tomold exposure. A letter fromthe National Institute forOccupational Safety andHealth states, “Given thesmall number of cases andthe lack of methods to deter-mine their causes, it is notpossible at this time (1999)to link the cases to eachother or to the … environ-ment.”

‘Collapsed’Frohna introduced a

friend, Jeffrey Wilhelm, ofPiqua, who had a hernia op-eration in 2006.Wilhelm saidthree weeks after his opera-tion, “I was home walkingand all of a sudden, I col-lapsed.”Wilhelm said he has not

had use of his legs since thetime of his initial collapse.Wilhelm and Frohna both

provided results of lab tests,which indicate exposure tomold, although a source ofthat exposure cannot be con-firmed.Frohna has undergone at

least 14 surgeries for the con-ditions connected with herillness, from incontinence tobreast cancer. She has gonethrough chemotherapy, amastectomy and breast re-construction — twice. She’shad blood clots, a collapsedlung, biopsies, rectal surger-ies, and “I want to forget therest,” she says.

Medical billsFrohna said when she first

got sick, she was able to useher sick time from work. Shewas able to use her health in-surance through work then,but when that expired, shewent on to COBRA coverage.After that, she was put onMedicare, which, she says,pays only 80 percent of hercoverage, so she’s had to buysupplemental insurance aswell. Her medical bills, shesaid, are “in the hundreds ofthousands of dollars.”She must avoid areas

prone to mold and mildewdue her increased sensitivi-ties, so even physical therapyis a challenge, with gymsoften harboring moisture.Her prognosis is not much

better. There’s no “recovery”on the horizon. Each day shestruggles through the ordi-nary activities of life as shefeels her body continue in itsdecline.

Junior and senior students at Chris-tian Academy Schools in Sidney areparticipating in the Veterans HistoryProject conducted by the American FolkLife Center.The students are interviewing local

veterans and plan to send recordedvideo logs of them to the Library ofCongress in Washington, D.C., to carryon a legacy of biographies for genera-tions to come.Kelly Edwards, social studies teacher

at the academy, said she heard aboutthe program from other teachers and,after visiting the program’s website, de-cided to present it to her students.The project collects, preserves and

makes accessible the personal accountsof American war veterans so futuregenerations may hear directly from vet-erans and better understand the reali-ties of war.The project, created by the U.S. Con-

gress in 2000, was signed into law by

President Clinton. Its website iswww.loc.gov/vets/about.html.Christian Academy student Kachia

Vanderbeek provides the following ac-count of the project thus far:“This year on the 70th anniversary

of Pearl Harbor, students of ChristianAcademy had the privilege of witness-ing an interview with Frank Duzick, ofSidney, a Pearl Harbor survivor.“Duzick, who served aboard the USS

Mugford, shared events he and his crewexperienced aboard the ship on Dec. 7,1941, including sinking of the USS Ari-zona and the struggle to save the lives

of friends and other U.S. Navy membersduring the chaos.“Duzick’s story and personal account

will make him and fellow sailors re-membered as heroes of our country for-ever.“The junior class will be sending the

personal accounts of Sidney veteransBill Deam (World War II) and ThomasAnderson (World War II) and RichardSteinke of Anna (Vietnam).“Once we have interviewed these

men, we will send video logs of them tothe Library of Congress to forever beremembered and honored.”The Sidney classmates are joining

students all around the U.S. to providehistorical facts and biographies of vet-erans’ lives during and after the na-tion’s wars.The project collects first-hand ac-

counts of World War I (1914-1920),World War II (1939-1946), Korean War(1950-1955), VietnamWar (1961-1975),Persian Gulf War (1990-1995) andAfghanistan and Iraq conflicts (2001-present).

CINCINNATI REDS left fielder Ryan Ludwick hits a two-runsingle in front of Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos,right, during the ninth inning of a baseball game on Thursdayin Washington.

WASHINGTON (AP) —Standing on third base withtwo outs in the bottom of the10th inning, Ryan Zimmer-man still was bummed aboutthe two plays he failed tomake in the field earlierThursday for the WashingtonNationals.Knowing that the Cincin-

nati Reds’ relievers are proneto throwing “dirtballs,” Zim-merman was aware that Al-fredo Simon might very wellmiss his mark. Sure enough,Simon threw a wild pitch, andZimmerman raced home,helping the Nationals extendtheir best start since movingto Washington with a 3-2 vic-tory over the Reds.Scoring the winning run

made Zimmerman able to getover the two balls that gotpast him while he playedthird, one in the eighth in-ning, and one in the ninth, thelatter allowing Ryan Ludwickto deliver a tying two-run sin-gle for Cincinnati.“If we had lost that game,”

Zimmerman said, “it wouldhave been hard for me to sleeptonight.”Instead, the Nationals im-

proved to 5-2, good for firstplace in the NL East, andtreating an announced selloutcrowd of 40,907 to a win in thehome opener for the first timesince 2008.Craig Stammen (1-0)

struck out the side in the 10thfor the win, needing all of 10pitches for those three outs.“We don’t give in. We don’t

give up,” said Jayson Werth,who singled in the 10th oneout after Zimmerman reachedbase when Simon (0-1) hithim with a pitch.“It’s a long season.A lot can

happen,” Werth said. “But Ilike the way we’ve started.”The Nationals never had

been better than 3-4 throughseven games since they

moved to Washington in2005. They’re hoping to buildon last season’s improve-ment, when they finished 80-81 and in third place in theNL East.“We’re showing signs of

great life here,” saidWashing-ton starter Gio Gonzalez, whostruck out seven and didn’twalk a batter in seven shutoutinnings.He even added his first

major league hit, for goodmeasure, a blooper of a singleto left off Mat Latos with oneout in the fifth, then rolled hisneck, smiled broadly andchuckled a bit while standingon the bag at first.“I’m glad to get the first one

out of the way,” Gonzalez said.Thanks to Adam LaRoche’s

two-run single with the basesloaded in the fifth, the Na-tionals took a 2-0 lead into theninth, but Brad Lidge blewthe save. Lidge is sharingcloser duties for Washingtonwith Henry Rodriguez be-cause Drew Storen had sur-gery Wednesday and will beout for months.With one out, Lidge walked

Joey Votto, then gave up ScottRolen’s double and intention-ally walked Jay Bruce to loadthe bases. The free pass didn’twork, even though Nationalsmanager Davey Johnson likedthe odds when he saw Lud-wick send a hopper towardZimmerman, a 2009 NL GoldGlove recipient.“When that ball was hit

down his way, I was happy asa clam,” Johnson said. “Toughhop.”It scooted past Zimmer-

man, allowing the Reds tomake it 2-2.But Zimmerman got a

chance to make amends. Hewas at third with RogerBernadina at the plate, whenSimon threw an 0-1 pitch inthe dirt.

ANNA — Arguably thebest volleyball player in AnnaHigh School his-tory, and cer-tainly one thebest-ever inShelby County,is returninghome to be thecoach.Anna’s Board

of Education ap-proved the hir-ing of Kelli Barhorst as thenew head volleyball coach forthe Lady Rocket at a meetingWednesday night.Barhorst had a sensational

career at Anna, leading theLady Rockets to a 30-0 recordand a Division III statechampionship her junioryear, and being named first-team All-Ohio as a junior anda senior.Following high school, she

went on to an outstanding fouryears in volleyball at OhioState, playing in the “Sweet 16”her junior and senior years.She started 25 games as a

freshman at OSU, and 33 as asophomore. As a junior, shewas Big Ten Player of theWeek twice.“I had a blast,” she said. “I

can’t believe my four years atOhio State are done. I wish Icould go back and do it allover again.”She replaces Amy Cobb,

who spent two years in theprogram and will be a toughact to follow. Her first teamfinished with a 21-6 recordand last year’s team had a 16-11 mark. She led both teamsto the regional tournament,where both lost to the even-tual state champion.“It’s a family thing,” said

Cobb Wednesday. “I just wantmore time to myself so I canspend it with my family. I justcan’t commit 100 percent tocoaching right now. I did it fortwo years just to fill in, and Itold them if they could getanybody else in there, Iwouldn’t be offended.“The tournament runs the

last two years were amazing,the support we got from thecommunity, that whole sea ofgreen in the stands,” she

added. “That tournament runmy first year is what made mecome back last season. That’swhat I’ll remember most.”Barhorst will coach while

doing post-graduate work atUrbana University.“I’m moving back home, liv-

ing off mom and dad for awhile,” she said. “They love it,and they hate it.”She said she wasn’t sure

about what came next afterOhio State, but coaching wasalways on her mind.“I guess this wasn’t really

expected,” she said. “But theygave me the opportunity andI took it. I definitely wanted tocoach. It was tough when vol-leyball ended for me. I won-dered what I would do, andcoaching was the logical nextstep.”She plans to meet with the

players after school today andget her program started.“I will let them know my

history and the expectations Ihave,” she said. “I know thereis great volleyball aroundhere and you have to be onpoint every night with every-thing you do.”

amateur circuit when his own bodybetrayed him with a series of injuriesthat ended his improbable run atmaking the U.S. team for the LondonOlympics.On Thursday, the former Olympic

gold medalist and TNAWrestling starbacked out of next week's U.S.Olympic Team Trials in Iowa. The 43-year-old Angle was planning on competing for aspot on the U.S. freestyle team headed to the Lon-don Games this summer.Angle partially tore the MCL in his right knee

To a generation of TV and film fans, Alex Karraswill forever be the loving adoptive dad on the 1980s

sitcom “Webster” or the big guy whopunched a horse in 1974’s “BlazingSaddles.” Before his acting days, hewas a football star, a three-time All-Pro defensive tackle for the DetroitLions in the 1960s.Now 76, and diagnosed with de-

mentia, Karras is taking on the role oflead plaintiff: He and his wife, SusanClark, are two of 119 people who filedsuit Thursday in U.S. District Court in

Philadelphia, the latest complaint brought againstthe NFL by ex-players who say the league didn't doenough to protect them from head injuries.“This physical beating that he took as a football

player has impacted his life, and therefore it hasimpacted his family life,” Clark said. “He is inter-ested in making the game of football safer and hop-ing that other families of retired players will havea healthier and happier retirement.”Clark, who also played the wife of Karras’ char-

acter on “Webster,” said he was formally diagnosedwith dementia about seven years ago, but symp-toms first showed up more than a dozen years ago.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indiansmay have found a boost for their stagnant offense.The team is nearing a deal with

free agent outfielder Johnny Damon,who is just 277 hits away from 3,000and was looking to catch on with ateam to prolong his career.Both need help.Damon needs hits to reach the

milestone. The Indians simply needhits.Agent Scott Boras has been in talks

with Indians general manager ChrisAntonetti, who has been looking for a player to helpa Cleveland team off to a 1-4 start and batting just.176, worst in the majors. The sides were still work-ing on terms of the deal, which could include an opt-out clause once Indians center fielder GradySizemore returns from the disabled list.

FORTWORTH,Texas (AP) — The Busch Broth-ers are adding a new dynamic to their relationship.When Kurt Busch gets in the car for Friday

his brother, they will be competitors again Satur-day night in the Sprint Cup race.NASCAR resumes this weekend after the Easter
